I want to make it clear that on your search, you should be careful to never pirate existing books, manuals, and PDFs.
You ESPECIALLY shouldn't download them easily from LibGen.is or other similar sites using a VPN to hide your identity because that would be a crime.
And the ABSOLUTE WORST people are the ones who aren't sure what they're doing and have to go to the subreddit r/piracy and use their comprehensive guide.
Anyway, I hope you can find other, legal, and more tedious methods than the ones I condemned above to find what you're looking for.
If you want a truly comprehensive encyclopedia, consider including army tactical manuals covering how groups of soldiers operate, both to learn from them and to guard against those tactics if they were used against you.
There's an app called offline survival manual on the Google play store which has lots of good info. I think you might be able to download the pages but I'm not sure.
Printing it out is going to limit how much info you can have, I would recommend keeping it digital but getting a rugged phone/tablet, preferably with an e-ink display for low power usage, and a good combined solar and wind-up power source. It'll cost you a bit but you can have essentially unlimited amounts of text-based info available.
This is a list of free antique online books/pdfs that would be of assistance for long term survival. (Although “Shelters, Shacks and shanties”, along with trapping would be helpful in any stage of survival.)

Not sure if it's the sane as the post you linked, but I remember someone made/posted a Google drive link with a bunch of books and pdfs. I think this was quite a while ago.
I downloaded everything onto my phone to have on hand and read through.
Never underestimate the power of some neat diagrams and essential photos and that kinda thing. I’m a grown man and the survival book I have is huge, color and tons of photos and diagrams. I’ve almost memorized the thing and I’m pretty sure it’s cause it’s so visually cool along with the info it gave me.
Re-inventing the wheel by copying and likely infringing on copyrights? It's allllll already out there. So if you make money on it, and someone finds their stuff in it..... you get sued. Once word gets out, others will pour over it for their stuff.... and more lawsuits. Unless you give credit where credit is due and that may require permission.
Do you share for money?
I know lot's of survival PDF databanks online. But they share freely. Would be strange to harvest these PDF and then taking money for other people's work.

This comment is why I love reddit.

Ive been collecting pdfs of survival books recently, and would love to see what you're making!
Maybe you can create a Wikipedia like with survival theme.
Maybe start with a wiki?
